Lambert v. Hodge
Patrick and Rodora Hodge (appellants) agreed to sell real property to Paulette Lambert (respondent), Patrick's sister. After respondent made a $100,000 payment and performed other terms of their agreement, appellants refused to transfer title to her or return her money. Following a nonjury trial, the trial court entered judgment in favor of respondent on causes of action for negligent misrepresentation and money had and received, ordering appellants to pay respondent $206,701.78. Appellants, who represented themselves at trial and on appeal, contend the judgment violates Rodora's "constitutional and civil rights" because she was not personally involved in the transaction, that there is no substantial evidence they negligently misrepresented any facts, that the contract is illegal and that respondent waited two years before she complained about the failure to transfer title to her. We affirm.
